I am a multicell and multiscale modeler and member of the Biocomplexity group at Indiana University. The group produces and maintains the multicellular modelling package Compucell3D. I am also a voting member of the USA committee to the International Organization for Standards (ISO) working group on standards in biotechnology and the chairman of a sub-sub group on publishing standards.

Reproducibility of results is fundamental to all sciences. In computational biology, standard formats like Systems Biology Markup Language (SBML), CellML, or NeuroML enable the exchange of simulation models, and foster interoperability between software tools importing and exporting these formats.

My main research interest is in developing methods and tools that (1) improve the reuse of computational models in biology, (2) ensure reproducibility of modeling results and (3) that lead to easier
